Ozyakup left Arsenal for Besiktas back in 2012, and has now notched up 13 goals and 28 assists in 108 appearances, as well as becoming a regular for the Turkish national team.

Arsenal have had an inconsistent start to the season, and could do with improvements in a number of areas, including central midfield, where they have become overly reliant on Francis Coquelin and Santi Cazorla, with little in the way of backup in that area.
